Ruzen 5 5600x stock cooler vs noctua nh u9s

[Mahbub]

So i have a ryzen 5 5600x on a b550i aorus pro mobo, my case is cooler master nr 200 so my cooler options are very limited.. where i stay.. noctua nh u9s is my only option. I wanna ask how much of a benefit might i see on a u9s compared to the stock cooler?

You can expect the Noctua U9S to perform around 15-20% cooler than the stock Wraith Stealth cooler. 

However, it will also be a little louder as it uses a 92mm fan.

What's the size of the stock cooler?

5600X comes with a shitty aluminum puck. I hope u9s is more than 20% better

For those wondering, I'm basing the 15-20% off this YouTube review.

I'm not sure where it's mentioned in the video but percentage shouldn't be used for temperature outside of Kelvin. 

 

The NH-U9S is much quieter and performs considerably better than the Wraith Stealth. It's a good upgrade if you're not satisfied with the stock cooler.

Dont limit yourself to u9s when you can fit Scythe Mugen 5.

What's wrong with comparing cooling by percentages?

We do it for performance all the time. (Ie..option A gives 50% more fps than option B)

First of all, I wasnt comparing the two on a sound level. I was simply stating that the U9S will be on the louder side given its smaller 92mm fan. (Compared to full size coolers with 120mm fans)

 

Secondly, when both fans are pushed to their max, the U9S is in fact louder than the Wraith Stealth. According to the video review...

Cooling performance can be described with percentages but often with cooling capacity which is often measured in watts. I'm not sure where it's mentioned in the video. 

Where did you get 15-20%?

Can you use timestamps? It's hard to find what's being referenced in such a long video.

Just casually mentioning a Noctua NH-C14S
